@nevernevermore It's honestly an awesome concept. The fact that the creator ported JavaScript to DOS first just blows my mind.

I'm stoked the Apple IIc got some love. That's the computer my family had when I was growing up!

@DrChickenbeer The guy's write-up that we linked is really something, just absolutely wild what he was able to do. Apparently he tests his app in MAME before actually running it on his Apple IIc.

I love everything about this! Except there's no love for the Acorn Archimedes, the original ARM computer?! Or the BBC Micro?? Travesty!
